About the Item

Solid Cherrywood Chest – Late 19th Century A sturdy and elegant chest, a true testament to traditional craftsmanship from the Loire Valley. This solid cherrywood chest, crafted in the late 19th century, embodies the quality and durability of antique furniture made by skilled artisans from the Anjou region. Built using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, it offers exceptional sturdiness, enhanced by its strong and elegant feet. The hinged top opens to reveal a generous storage space originally designed to store food supplies. This practical design allowed for quick and easy access while ensuring proper preservation of provisions. Originating from the outbuildings of a château in Anjou, in the heart of the Loire Valley — a region renowned for its rich historical and artisanal heritage — each piece of wood was carefully selected to combine beauty and longevity. Today, with its warm patina and excellent condition, this versatile chest naturally fits into both contemporary and classic interiors. It offers ideal storage for linens, firewood, precious objects, or books, while bringing a touch of authenticity and character to your space. More than just a piece of furniture, this chest is a fragment of history and a precious testament to the refinement and craftsmanship of French artisans from times past.
